If the biggest problem of your relationship is that your partner doesn't do the dishes and/or you freak out and get hyper emotional over things like that, then do the world a favor and punch yourself so hard that your head explodes and your brains and blood splatter over the wall in a pattern that says, "I AM A…

Two more: Don't keep score. Just give your person the support they need when they need it, and trust they'll do the same for you.

Assuming you have no other debt, that's fine, and I really like the "save it for maintenance" option. But if you DO have other debt, credit cards, mortgage, etc, roll it into the "snowball" amount you're paying off on those (thanks, Dave Ramsey!). The money you'll save on paying those higher-interest debts will…

I would put a portion of that aside specifically for a car repair fund. Now that it's paid for, it's going to need extra work and maintenance to keep going. Saving is saving, but it'll help make sure it's accessible for the same purpose.

And now you've touched on why so many college grads FEEL like their degree is worthless, it often cost them more than a(/an early) years wages to attain while they spent significant time doing things they will never do again. Look I'm not going to rail against College education because I do feel there's value in…

That looks exactly like my situation. I'm the lone IT guy, and the only time anyone really speaks to me is when they have a problem. I've worked here for 8 years and still have no friends in the office. I've never even had my b-day acknowledged. Not once. But like you I just deal with it. I help when needed,…

No allowances setup. Kids are expected to contribute in the chores, helping around the house. When they want to buy something or need money to go out and enjoy, we determine if and how much they can have. If its a larger item, we decide based on what it is, how much it costs, can we afford it, do they really need…

We don't really have a budget. We monitor our finances regularly (using Mint) and just live as far below our means we can while still being comfortable and occasionally splurging on reasonable things. My wife and I both grew up in families where we were frugal, so we don't have an issue with it.

When my wife was picking phones last year we specifically looked at ergonomics because she was moving from a Blackberry to an Android phone. We found some that suited her hand size. That said I am a tall man (6ft2) and even I don't want these new 5in phones, frankly they don't sit well in my pocket and I have seen…

I always taken collateral or put liens on titles and wrote ironclad contracts. I'm 20 years old and currently have low 5 figures loaned out to 7 different friends/coworkers. Next week I will probably have to contact my city to get a repo permit and repo a Yamaha r6 I have a lien on. He has missed two payment (not…

ill have to see it in action in my ipad to make a firm conclusion - but my feeling is that it merely closes the gap on android, it doesn't put it back in front.

Rules for moving in together:

This article doesn't mention the unmentionable.. once you're living with someone there is a different expectation around sex. 24/7 access changes expectations.. I don't see that on a spreadsheet or 'chore wheel'.

if you co-sign a loan for a friend, say a car loan, can you take possession of the car if they begin to miss payments?

ISO, communication tricks for wife.

I have been married for 10 years and am amazed at the fact that my husband and I are still happy. We both came from divorced families so our expectations were low. We still talk/joke about how we are going to split the house/children/dog once we start hating each other. The only other thought I would add to the…

You can always get flare out of an Apple device by setting it on fire. : )

The problem with your statement is that DRM prevents you from playing all of the content you have 'purchased' (and I put that in quotes because you license digital content these days) on different/various devices. I recently purchased an android tablet and now have no way to legitimately play iTunes or Amazon Prime…

Bitch please. I have to use a fax machine at my job.
